I ask because I had my current Type Cover exchanged at the M$ store over the weekend. The replacement Type Cover is different. The F7 key is no longer Print Screen but a macro key that controls the keyboard backlight brightness. I also had to uninstall and reinstall the type cover drivers to get the fingerprint sensor to work. Seems it was a different device ID that what was on my old type...

Some people own a second pen, for use as a replacement in case the other pen is lost.

I happen to own two pens, because I own two Surface Books.

So I mix the front and back ends of the pens. It adds some style and some distinction, making them less apt to get lost amongst mere conventional writing tools....

I REALLY want to improve my posture & my life at my keyboard, and one major way to do that is to have my screen higher, while keyboard stays same.

This is why wireless keyboards exist. But it seems CRAZY to buy ANOTHER wireless keyboard, when I already have a detachable keyboard! Part of the benefits of being a surface user, no?

I've done some research for a wireless keyboard adapter and I've gotten mixed info.

There is a product page for a wireless...

I have a question concerning the surface dock for my surface pro 4.
to it, I connected two hard disk. if I turn off the Surface or i disconnect from the docking station, hard disk are powered on and in rotation!
no way to turn off the power of the ports when the surface is powered off?
all other docking station that I had (sony, hp) have never had this problem.

Wireless Keyboard Adapter For BOOK?]]>1Type Cover (1) isn't workingMon, 23 Jan 2017 19:22:19 +0000http://www.surfaceforums.net/threads/type-cover-1-isnt-working.21950/

At first when it stopped working correctly it sometimes worked when it had a certain angle between the keyboard and the screen. Now I can't seem to find this "hotspot". I read this could be caused by a bad connection in the cable. So I want to open up my keyboard, but I have no idea how. Has anyone tried this before? Or does anyone know a site with photos how to do this?]]>2SP3 Dock with SP4Wed, 18 Jan 2017 13:27:33 +0000http://www.surfaceforums.net/threads/sp3-dock-with-sp4.21934/

While I wait for the release, I'm starting to pick up accessories that I'd like... a microSD card, for example.

I'd really like to get some kind of bag for my Surface. Since I'll be ditching the huge, oversized, heavy laptop I've been lugging around for the past few years, I'd also like to ditch the bulky briefcase/laptop bag in favor of something smaller, lighter, and more stylish.

I wanted to protect the backside from scratches and the leather skin was the perfect solution for me.

i just got a second monitor today, tried to hook it up to my SP4 dock but it doesn't wanna connect both monitors. Under display settings its showing monitor 1,2,3 but my old monitor doesnt wanna connect.

So i have a
dell U2713H (old ) DVI to MDP because for some reason DP to MDP stop working.

dell U2715J (new) DP to MDP.

If i disconnect either monitors the other one will work, but when both are connected only the U2713H works.
any suggestions??

If they exist what limitations do they have?]]>6Surface Pro 4 Docking Station USB issuesMon, 28 Nov 2016 05:20:15 +0000http://www.surfaceforums.net/threads/surface-pro-4-docking-station-usb-issues.21742/

Just wondering if anybody has issues with plugging in more than one USB into the dock? I run into a lot of problems where it will disconnect one USB and only power one device which will require a reboot to fix then it works. In device manager it will say the usb device descriptor has failed. If I uninstall the driver and reboot it works, then the problem just comes back when I plug in more than one usb device again. I'm only plugging in a usb receiver for a microsoft mouse and...
